Why is it taboo to make clothing from cat fur as opposed to other animal furs?

When it comes down to it, humans have very personal connections with their cats. It’s harder to kill your victim when you look them in the eyes first, and believe me, as a society, we’ve looked cats in the eyes:

Are you going to betray Luna’s trust? Ever since she was a tiny kitten, she’s always wanted to play. I was holding my breath in this picture…

She was the cutest little kitten!

Since then, Luna has done nothing… other than march her furry little nose into our hearts. Here’s Luna finishing her supper while chatting with my wife.

Luna, like most pets I’ve seen, has always loved sunbeams. We lived in the Financial District of Manhattan for 15 months, and Luna hasn’t seen a sunbeam for all that time. Now we’ve moved upstate, and have a lot of sun. Look at her!

Sooooo happy!!!!

So it’s our job to keep our little furry friends safe. Let them tuck in the coziest blankets and have their little snoozefests…

Killing to fulfill needs is an unfortunate reality, for many (most?) forms of life. Maybe a society that’s not particularly attached to cats would be okay relying on them as a meat source, but very few I know would.

I'm a computer programmer, indie filmmaker, amateur photographer, but most importantly, I own a cat. I have a sense of humor that leans toward absurdism, which you'll see in both my creative writing, and my photos.
